What is a telematics box?
Telematics is a method of tracking your driving habits. It’s a black box or smartphone app that tracks how fast you drive, how quickly you brake, and whether you’re a safe driver in general.
Telematics, often known as black box car insurance, GPS car insurance, or smartbox insurance, is a means for some automobile insurance companies to determine how ‘risky’ a driver you are. The information can be used to provide you with an insurance quote that is tailored to your driving habits.
It’s frequently used to assist young or inexperienced drivers in obtaining lower-cost auto insurance. While telematics may save money for inexperienced drivers, responsible drivers may find that having a black box forces them to change their driving style.
